The much-anticipated MLB debut for Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays came after a whirlwind day for the 21-year-old.

Roman Anthony was ready to get on a bus and make a four-hour trip to Lehigh Valley, Pa. on Monday with the Worcester Red Sox. But he received a phone call just before the trek that gave him a new destination: Fenway Park in Boston.

The Boston Red Sox promoted outfielder Roman Anthony to the majors, the team announced Monday. Anthony was in the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays, batting fifth and manning right field. Wilyer Abreu landed on the injured list with an oblique strain.
